Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Sometimes the breakthrough is not in the content, is in
seeing someone who looks just like you doing what you
thought you could not. We'll talk about it right after this.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Educate, empower, Enable Impact. Thank you for tuning in to
That Will Never Work, an award winning podcast where we
share inspiring information and personal experiences related to business and
the entrepreneurial journey from those who are leaders in their
respective field. Now here's your host, author and business coach, Maurice.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. So here
is the idea for today and this will probably be
the last part of this series, talking about my experienceperience,
and what I've taken from attending the podcast Summit, hosted
by David Shan's in August of twenty twenty five. See

(01:14):
being around people who are doing what you dream of
normalizes excellence. Again, being around people who are doing what
you dream of normalizes excellence. So my experience from the summit,

(01:44):
and this is my lasting experience, is the thought of
what separates me from anyone else that was in that room.
What separates me Maurice Chisholm, from anyone else in that room?

(02:07):
One is just me being me. But number two is
when It comes from a podcasting perspective that thanks for
your love and support, that this particular podcast that will
Never work podcast has been nominated, has been nominated for

(02:30):
an award five different times. I'm sorry four different times,
and that this award winning podcast that's never worked podcast,
we are a winner. We have won. And it wasn't

(02:55):
by some chance or some flop by night or whatever
the situation was. We won. I didn't know anybody that was,
you know, voting for us or anything like that. So
I won fair and square based off of whatever the
criteria might have been for those award shows. And so

(03:18):
you get to be in a room around these people
that helps you to normalize excellence, helps you to normalize
that I am set apart on one hand. On the

(03:42):
other hand, I have my peers that are going along
in this journey with me around me, you know, so
that way you understand that, hey, there's someone else out
there that understands this process, that understands this journey, that
might understand my ups and downs or whatever it is,

(04:03):
and through it all that I have someone that can
empathize and sympathize and talk me through all my challenging situations,
even in all my winning situations, and so in that environment,

(04:25):
I realized that I am I belong in the room
with the greats. And so for you, I would like
for you to feel the exact same way that when

(04:45):
you're in those type of rooms and that you're around
these individuals that are normalizing excellence of things that you
dream of, that it shows you that greatness is not
outside of your reach, that greatness is right there, that
you can normalize greatness every day because it's already in

(05:09):
the room. Greatness was in that room for those two
days I was there. There was the Wall Street Trapper.
There was uh Brandy Harvey. There was Lauren I can't
remember her last name. There was Letarians. There was Kevin

(05:30):
Kevi on stage. There was doctor Jamal Bryant. There was
mister David Shan's. There was Eric Thomas. There were all
these individuals that we see on YouTube, that we see
in podcast episodes, that we see Alicia Little. There are

(05:52):
all these individuals that we see greatness out of. And
my question to you is what separates you from them?
See the challenges that we need to understand that a
lot of this is consistency. What happens is is that

(06:17):
somebody may share a story. I ei this story was shared,
which is they had a podcast, a video podcast they
were putting on YouTube and that they were recording for
a while. And I believe they said that their episode

(06:44):
number sixty something was the one that caught someone's attention,
but it was not the that was not the one
that set them on fire, that was not the one
that encourage them and blew them up. What happened is

(07:06):
that brought attention to what they were doing and what
they were saying. They said that actually it ended up
being a show that was about ten to fifteen shows
earlier than that that caught way more fire and that
blew them up to the top. So sometimes consistency, someone

(07:28):
just has to hear one that now they decide that,
you know what, let me start to listen to what
else this person has been able to offer all this time,
and now that one's the one that touches me. And
guess what, Now my group can benefit from what they're
stating or they're talking about. So now understanding that why
all this matters because sometimes proximity expands perspective. So when

(07:54):
you're in the room and now you're understanding that, hey,
you know what, All these episodes are not going to waste.
All this work is not going to waste because you
have zero idea of which one is going to set
the world on fire. You don't know which one is

(08:16):
going to make sure that your information, your voice, your perspective,
your information that you got to provide the way you
want to educate people, the way you want to empower people,
the way you want people to be impacted. You have
no idea what episode that's going to be that's going
to make those things move. You just gotta give it time.

(08:45):
And so as you're watching in that room, greatness happened.
We were able to see how people take their time
to interview individuals, how they the time to speak clearly
and understand the moment and the opportunity to galvanize the troops.

(09:08):
You get to see others win in real time, which
helps to dismantle your own limiting beliefs. Let's say that again,
because maybe people that were passively listening did not catch one.

(09:32):
It's in these rooms that you get to see and
expand your perspective on a certain situation, and seeing these
individuals win in real time helps dismantle your own limiting beliefs.

(09:54):
So my suggestion is, get in the room, see how
the these individuals are winning. If you listen to me,
you listen to how I win and what challenges I
am going through and overcoming by looking in the mirror,
by understanding my why and understanding that, hey, these are

(10:17):
things that are limiting me. Fear or anxiety or whatever
has been over the years that does not allow me
to utilize my voice to make a difference, To utilize
my voice to make an impact, to utilize my voice
to empower each and every one of you, and keep
in mind yours can do the exact same thing. So

(10:42):
let's find ways to dismantle you're limiting beliefs. I'll talk
to you a little bit later.
